New developments in the Jeffrey Epstein files have put ex-Prince Andrew back in the spotlight, as the London police press the United States for more information. Good Morning America reported that London’s Metropolitan Police now wants access to unredacted material in the files. Meanwhile, investigators continue an ongoing examination of Epstein’s network and the people in it.
British police is reportedly pushing US officials for unredacted Epstein files
A month after ex-Prince Andrew’s arrest, Good Morning America reported that London’s Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley traveled to Washington in an effort to obtain more documents in the Epstein files. Rowley addressed the investigation during the interview and stressed the force’s approach, telling GMA, “Policing in the UK will operate without fear or favor.” He added, “That’s the fundamental principle.”
The report says that Rowley’s department is investigating Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Britain’s ousted ambassador to the U.S., Peter Mandelson, over their ties to Epstein. When asked what investigators need,
Rowley explained, “Of course, there’s a big body of that evidence is in the United States, in all those files, and we’re going to need the unredacted evidence.” He added, “We need the original copy and where did it come from, and that’s going to be necessary if we get to the stage of court cases.”
Asked about U.S. cooperation, Rowley answered, “Yeah, so, the—those conversations are where I’ll expect them to be at the moment.”
Additionally, Rowley said, “It looks like it was shared with Epstein,” referring to an email from the financial crash period, adding, “So, we’re looking at that as to whether that’s a criminal offense.”
Rowley also discussed earlier work involving Virginia Giuffre, saying investigators conducted “four of those interviews with her.” However, he said, “those interviews didn’t give us any evidence or any allegations,” at least those that they “could investigate in the UK.”
Furthermore, Good Morning America explained that public interest is intense because the common people want accountability from those in the Epstein files, and the host assured that Rowley intends to see the investigation “through to the end.
